Talent Agent Derek King

Nadia Pornstar writes: This is Nadia from Morocco. Last year, I was in some adult movies for Ed Powers, Jack (the big black dicked guy) [Napier] and some old guy producer from England named John [Bowen?].

Anyways, I have a real big complaint about my former agent, DK [Derek King]. He tried to pimp me out to his clients for "privates" like I was a prostitute, because I was desparate for money.......most of the guys are rich guys or directors who don't want to get laid on film.....now that i'm out of the industry, i'm kind of looking back and seeing how he took advantage of me, just being 18 and stuff and not knowing any better.

I really want to warn all the girls not to work with him...he seems really sweet and concerned then he puts us into situations like not using condoms with his friends out of the industry or being call girls when we are desparate...then he starts asking you for sex on the side to get you work.......I'm really pleading you to publish this to warn everyone ...and encorage other girls to have the courage to tell the truth about Royal King. he should be shut down!!! I have also hear he took my 17 year old friend from Canada (she was 16 1/2 at the time) to see a video shoot at his Hartland location....he is always trying to get younger and younger girls in the industrie..probabaly because we will believe in the creep...

This is Nadia from Morocco...I am writing about my former agent DK. I can't talk from here, but if you want to know more about this scum, its probably ok to interview my friend Taylor Moore. He pimps out girls to do privates when they are desperate for money...takes advantage of our weaknesses, specially young like me. Also, he lets 16 and 17 year olds on the set to expose them to the 'business'...ask him about a girl named Layse. He ruined my life and kept me on my drug adictions by making me a whore for his clients....warn other girls please.

Mark writes: Luke, This DK [Derek King] is a well known idiot on the porn business. Yes he's scum. Besides whoring the girls out he likes to “hire” them for scenes and never pay. He has bounced checks several times. It is rumored that a phone call from Rob Spallone was needed to make him pay a certain girl. Here is a brief list of girls he has refused to pay.

Keri Starr
Gen X (out of the business now)
Vanessa

He is a well known moocher. First he lived at the studio of a well known porn photographer. Then he found this stupid kid from Kansas and moved in with him. They rented a single room in this large house in Beverly Hills. They would brag like they owned the entire house. But on arrival you learned they 4 other people lived there. Also DK shared the same bedroom with Mr. Kansas. Last year Mr. Kansas left LA for a few months and left his car here. DK quickly claimed for his own. The car was wrecked by the time Mr. Kansas arrived.

Somehow DK secured his first “real” office in the same building as retard John Bowen. It was featured dim lighting and pictures ripped from magazines on his wall. Most of the time he sat there waiting for the phone to ring. He kept a tv and vcr to play various porn film to whomever cared to watch. After John Bowen moved his operation to another location DK was without an office and somehow without a home.

DK then latched onto C-grade porn fat boy Kyle Phillips and moved in with him. Several girls reported that they were requested to meet him at Dennys since he was without an office.

One of DK's farvorite moves is to somehow find a new girl (usually thru someone else) and promise them dreams of making lots of movies at high rates. The next day he will call someone he knows at Private video and say “Oh . This is DK, I have a new girl, but she only works with me”. This is a well known suitcase pimp move. DK has made it his lifes calling. After a few weeks most girls leave because they realize they don’t need DK and especially his tendancy to misrepresent the girls.

Since DK is a well known scrooge to most porn companies he like slim ball Regan Senter has turned to “sending girls out on privates”. This is slang for arranging incall escort dates with porn stars. Regan and DK both collect their usual fees so it doesn’t matter if the girl is f---ing on camera or not.

DK is well known to Jim South. Mr. South fondly remembers DK attempting to be male talent with World Modeling only to appear on set unable to cum as the Director need. Mr. South knows that DK like Regan is running a hack agency without any business licenses or credentials.

Many many girls are left scarred with the experince they had of DK. Indiana stripper turned porn star Kristen Kane was represented by DK and didn’t get a single call or work offer. After she left him, she went to video companies herself and was given countless joboffers. She is now out of the business is says DK is the reason she resents every having to do with porn. Any other girls with horror stories of DK please Email Luke!

Porn talent agent DK responds to Gene Ross on about charges this site aired a few days ago.

DK: "This Nadia girl is from Morocco. She was living with Damien Michaels. Phyllisha Ann took her away from Damien Michaels cause Damien Michaels got her hooked on crack, was pimping her out in his home to pay his rent because he couldn't pay it. So Phyllisha got her away from Damien because Damien's got a bad reputation. We all know that. So then she brought her [Nadia] to me because she knew that I would help her and I would look after her best interests. I tried to help her. She had some health problems because she wasn't taking care of herself. She was on these very hardcore drugs that Damien had got her on.

"I never pimped anyone out. And she didn't escort and I never asked her if she would.

"She's been out of the business for about a year and from what I understand, from reading this, she regrets that she ever got in the business. She had got a scholarship to play tennis at a couple of major universities. She ran away from home. Her father's wealthy. She didn't want to go to school. She wanted to get high and be irresponsible and do her own thing, so she came out here.

"Apparently Nadia was getting high with Taylor Moore because Taylor Moore is a big drug addict.

"So I got her a short-term contract with Anabolic and Chris Alexander can firm this. Taylor looked at the contract and got mad at me because one of the things they wanted to do in the contract was a gangbang. And she goes I'm not going to do a gangbang. I'm above doing a gangbang. She got mad at me."

TheRealStory writes: I just want to write to you concerning DK.... First of all you should go back and look in an interview that gene ross had on his site with Keri Starr. She may not have mentioned his name, but that story's about DK. If you ask her about it I am sure she will tell you anything you want to know. She had went there to do a scene as a favor to him. The other guy that was in the scene very rude. There were a lot of problems and nothing went well for any of them. She had a problem getting paid, and eventually ended up getting back the model release that she signed. When it was all said and done they just decided to stay away from each other. As far as the interview that you have on your site today. The only thing I really can say is that he did a shoot at David Lace studios, where he could not get his dick hard. So the girl started playing with his balls and rubbing his prostate, which lead to him getting a dildo stuck up his ass. After getting the dildo in his ass, he finally got hard...So he may not suck dick, but it sounds like he likes things up his ass! Just wanted to tell you what I know.

James Fortune writes: Hi Gene and Luke, I got called away from my leave of absence from porn to respond to the allegations by Nadia and others on DK...I will just tell you what I observed, as he was a co-renter in the house we lived in and we were buds and spent a lot of time working together recruiting and shooting girls. Anyone who knows me knows that at least I'm honest...maybe too much so because i was so f---ing naive in this f---ed up industry made up of losers and users. I have no interest in defending DK just because he was a friend. I am no longer in the industry and have no vested interest in this. In fact, I have a little financial dispute with him that he has to resolve...so I could have been one of the ones to come out with a few of my own allegations, but I decided not to, because what was said was not true. I believe that fact must be separated from fiction. When you hear the gripes from me, then you will know it is true...because as an industry participant,next to Luciano, I probably know him the best personally.

The facts on Nadia: Nadia was a cute 18 year old from Moroco who had gotten hooked on crack. Shot her once on film and f---ed her a little on the side. I felt very protective of her, and tried to get her out of her addiction; spent a lot of time rescuing her from a crack house, but she would always end up there. I was so enraged one night, I left the mansion in a frenzy and broke open the door of the crack house and cleared a party full of low-life addicts to get her out. DK tried to get her work because she was always bugging him for work....we didn't want her to spend it on crack. On more than one occassion we tried to convince her to fly home...and I was ready to pick her up for the airport, then she would disappear. Taylor was very protective of her and warned me not to let DK "pimp" her out (which he never did)...and warned me to get out of the business because it was destroying me and DK...who we were as people....she got a little overdramatic. Nadia went home, her father probably found out (he is a rich Muslim cleric) and she probably got punished and is under house arrest of some sort.

The facts on DK being a pimp: Even though I was quite surprised by the amount of escorting girls do in this industry (wow, most porno girls ARE whores..on film, they just get paid less to give out more!), DK has been very clear to me that he doesn't pimp nor does he want to be involved in arranging privates. Girls come to him and sometimes tell him they escort on the side, and ask for work...many times they turn out to be whores, but never tell him they do this side business.....I warned him to avoid all escort referals for fear of this and he has always agreed that that is not what his agency is about or what he is about. I have witnessed that he tells girls he DOES NOT want to know about their activities on the side.

The facts on DK not taking tests: I went with DK to AIM and another center for periodic HIV tests. What girls do on their own personal time off camera in using condoms or asking for test results is between them and DK.

The facts on DK being gay: hhahha...I laughed on that one...the only reason he shared a room was because it was a very large suite with living room area and bedroom area that cost over $2000/month just for the one room...he wanted the biggest room to be able to shoot stuff......the whole house cost over $10,000/month to rent.....he is such a workaholic, half the time he spent at the office at night or at a girlfriends.....admittingly, the man in Beverly Hills who rented the mansion out to all of us who lived there was bisexual but a) we discovered that AFTER we moved in and made it very clear we were heterosexual , b) he hates black men (I just reassured him DK wouldn't steal anything), c) everyone else in the house was/is heterosexual and the man traveled all the time, d) we shot porn there and we f---ed women only..on camera and off.

The facts on how DK treats women: Everytime i have been with them, he has treated them with respect and dignity and really does go out of his way to help them. I would venture to say he works harder than other agents to get them work if they are committed and have the look. The reason sometimes women complain is because they are a) ugly and can't get work anyway, b) DK got frustrated on them because they weren't doing their share, and gave up on em....as any good agent would...you don't waste your time on girls who aren't committed.

In my 1 1/2 years of friendship with DK, I have never ever seen him take drugs or engage in any interest for men. Nadia was just pissed and wanted to stir controversy...wanted to get your attention....all the time she was here, she liked DK and was very appreciative... DK is just misunderstood because he is a black man working in a very competitive market and people in the industry are RACIST as evidenced by the latest Vivid controversy written in your column...DK may have started on the wrong foot with Kid Vegas and Jim South and others, but sometimes people make rookie mistakes in this industry. Unfortunately, those mistakes can haunt you and people get stereotypes, which other people assume are true, and then when they have a problem, they put it in the context of these previous experiences. Maybe he doesn't always deserve a break, but give DK a break on this one...because none of it is true.

James Fortune Says Agent DK Is A Slimeball After All

Porner James Fortune writes: Hey Gene [Ross], You know all those nice things I said about DK [Derek King] defending him against those accusation charges by Nadia? Well, I must have been wrong. DK is the biggest lier and scam artist I have ever met. Finally, he has pushed me over the edge with his lies. Last summer, the guy defaults on his $1000 rent while i'm in the hospital caring for a dying mother and out of money because i wasn't working while at hospital...and after repeated calls and promises, he never pays me back. wouldn't be surprised if he did that with Kyle Philips and I know he did it with the girl he lived with before. Plus it was very strange that so many things were missing from my house when I had stuff moved out. He pleads with me to write you and defend him against his charges related to the Nadia fiasco, promises me he will pay me back all the money he owes me if I would help him out...each week, says he deposited the check in the bank, or he has mailed the check...blah blah blah. I go to the bank...nothing.....and he drags me along under the guise of friendship. I warned him in repeated phone messages...that you would be first to know if he keeps on f---ing with me. I had a number of girls from Midwest and Florida to introduce to the filmakers via him, but other agents can get ahold of me from now on at james_fortune@yahoo.com....WELL, THIS IS A MESSAGE TO YOU SLIMY SCUMBAG DK.....you are no longer my friend. Hope you go to jail where you belong. I hope you rot DK. GIRLS, don't be used ; don't use him! He is an opportunist and sleazy. Jack Hammer, where are you? Beat the s--- out of him for me...thanks.

HI Luke I just happened to be popping around on your site and saw this in your bio section on DK the so called agent. Just wanted to let you know the whole story. I was refered to DK buy a couple of people that will remain nameless. They told me he was a really good agent. I found that to be the biggest lie I had ever heard. He did not get me one job. In fact all he tried to do was tear down my self esteme. I did not stay with him very long since I saw he was worthless.

I did get my own work before going to him and stayed busy. Then after I went back on my own got busy again. He did not try to pimp me out to anyone but then again I did not stay with him very long.

After I did a few more video's I did take time off from the industry. DK was a part of the reason but not all of the reasons. I had to decide if the good sex and money was worth dealing people like him. During the time I was off I ended up having to have a surgery which made my time away from the industry a little longer than I first anticipated.

I just came back to the industry with a different way of handling things. I began my entry by doing a video with Brooke Hunter in her Extacy series. I think I am going to enjoy my experience in the industry much better this time. But I do recomend new people in the industry to stay away from DK.
